TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Disorders of Glucose Transporters A1 - Santer, René A2 - Kline, Mark W. Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - D-Glucose and other monosaccharides are hydrophilic substances that cannot easily cross the lipophilic bilayer of the cell membrane. Since carbohydrates are important for supplying energy to essentially all cell types, specific transport mechanisms have evolved. While vesicle-associated glucose transport has been described fairly recently, transporter proteins have been known for years. Such proteins are embedded into the cell membrane and function as hydrophilic pores that allow cellular uptake and release and transcellular transport of monosaccharides.
